SBR Sponsor Monday - Page 2

My 2 cents is on #4 being driven by Steven Richards with either Enzed (Parker Hannifin Corporation www.parker.com) or D-Link (global IT company, www.d-link.com) as major sponsor.

Rick · 28 Oct 2005, 08:12 (Ref:1445785)

don't know how it fits but at Indy a Caltex "bigwig" (or maybe someone pretending to be one!) hinted that Caltex were stepping up and not only having the 2 SBR cars in their colours but a third car in Caltex branding of some sort for Craig Lowndes (!). I believe this was said before the grog started flowing.

Beatcha · 28 Oct 2005, 08:28 (Ref:1445793)

Wouldnt be Steven Richards as he wouldnt be allowed to announce it untill after the end of the season due to him being a Holden Sponsored Driver.

storyline · 28 Oct 2005, 08:43 (Ref:1445806)

And don't forget the Caltex sponsored car in the Touring Car Challenge - be interesting to see if that turns up in two weeks time (or why it has really been missing the last couple of rounds)

The deal was done a couple of weeks ago with 888....the stickers were on Lowndes headlight covers and wing at Bathurst......will continue next year.

The 2nd SBR car will be of interest next week.

Certainly sounds like James Courtney, as for the sponsor, my god, what a weird name: http://www.jeld-wen.com/.

That would be my guess anyway Stegbar is a current secondary sponsor, and they're the only one that I can see that looks like they're liking to change their corporate image to line in with their international image - which is also blue. (jeld-wen)

It's a close relative of Stegbar.....

....and they are sponsoring Ambrose's helmet next year.

Nado · 28 Oct 2005, 09:23 (Ref:1445838)

Yeah thanks retro. Found them through Stegbar, I hadn't realised this thread went more than one page (I should pay more attention sometime but I was a bit excited) and so hadn't realised others have mentioned it.

The name's going to take a lot of getting used to. "and the Jeld-Wen car wins Bathurst again!" hmmmm....

bestfit · 28 Oct 2005, 09:31 (Ref:1445847)

If SBR are revealing their new driver and new sponsor at noon on Monday, what is the "biggest question of 2005" that RPM will reveal on sunday?

storyline · 28 Oct 2005, 10:09 (Ref:1445881)

Why RPM is being cancelled?

**GTRMagic** · 29 Oct 2005, 02:58 (Ref:1446498)

So are there any bets on WPS taking title sponsorship of this car?

Going on what Auto Fiction ( and now it looks like AVE$CO OFFICAL ) scribe M.Fogarty said on the v8 website that his inside info was that the new sponser company's colour is BLUE to retain the bule colour of FORD/PIRTEK.

If that is the case and Mr Fogarty is right you can cancel out WPS then.

**GTRMagic** · 29 Oct 2005, 03:39 (Ref:1446511)

Isnt the Fish Liquor branding blue?

TSR · 29 Oct 2005, 03:42 (Ref:1446512)

Point to GTR, sorry forgot about that one.

amiers · 29 Oct 2005, 04:11 (Ref:1446515)

why will the car be #4? ingall or ambrose should take the #1 so the second car would stay #9 or#2 if they wanted.

**GTRMagic** · 29 Oct 2005, 04:39 (Ref:1446520)

Technically SBR 'owns' number 4, while they currently 'possess' number 1 while Marcos is the reigning champion.

Perhaps too that the team does not want to build up the expectation that the new branding will appear with the #1 on the door in season 2006... when there is no guarantee of that

Presumably the new BF Superbird will be painted in the new colours too

I think that you will find that one HRT & M.Skaife have the rights to the #2.

But if CL wins the championship will he take the #1 to T8

storyline · 29 Oct 2005, 05:56 (Ref:1446533)

The only number allocated based on the championship errr sorry series is the Number 1 - no other number is reserved for allocation in this manner. So the only way INgall would get number 2 is is he and Skaife swap teams.

But if Fogarty is right then it defintely isn't Fish Liquor:

The signing of a substitute for foundation SBR sponsor Pirtek also happened in a hurry. Pirtek’s unexpected withdrawal opened the way for one of the existing secondary supporters on Ambrose’s Falcon to step in as primary backer of the new car from next year.

Or Skaife gives the license for the number 2. That hows WPS got #8 from Mr L.Perkins

Raglanparade · 29 Oct 2005, 07:54 (Ref:1446571)

Do Stegbar or related brands make enough money to sponsor a V8 team ?

Razor · 29 Oct 2005, 07:55 (Ref:1446573)

Isn't Stegbar another main sponsor for SBR? could they be a title sponsor?

**GTRMagic** · 29 Oct 2005, 08:38 (Ref:1446593)

According to their website, SBR have tiered their sponsor inputs:

Platinum
Ford
Pirtek
Caltex

Gold
D-Link
Duracell
Dunlop
Bosch Spark Plugs
Stegbar

Silver
LG Electronics
Austech Industries
Australian Sign Supplies
Comp Cams
SP Air
Milligan's Food Group
PPG
Classic Model Cars
Coretech
SafeWaste
Stahlwille
Vortex Exhausts
Revolution Racegear

Care to pick a new sponsor out of those? If Mr Fogarty is right, the operations with the wherewithall (not so sure about the inclination) are Caltex, Duracell (Gillette), Bosch, Stegbar, LG (even thought they are at 888).

Nado · 29 Oct 2005, 09:26 (Ref:1446608)

Yep, but the only one that has an possible connections to "a local rebranding to co-ordinate the identity of its trans-Pacific operations"

**GTRMagic** · 29 Oct 2005, 09:37 (Ref:1446614)

So why do they need re-branding? Is Stegbar becoming Jenweld in this part of the world?
